Lazarus Reveals the Rapture (part 2)
This lines up with Elijah calling down fire. Prior to this event there were two opinions about the Lord, after it everyone realized Jesus was Lord and they knew who had been telling them the truth and who had been lying.
1Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
It says that God called the sacrifice and called for all the religious leaders to show up.
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. 19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
When a person dies we say that God called them home. When Elijah called down fire there were 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets that sat at Jezebel’s table. There are very few events where you would gather so many religious dignitaries in one spot in a way that the whole world could watch. But that is what is depicted in the story of Elijah calling down fire. It is crucial that it coincides with the rapture so that the whole world can see that these religious leaders were not raptured, nor was the Pope raised from the dead. God exposes them as liars during the rapture and everyone was able to see it.
40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
This aligns with the Revelation
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
But we also see that this lines up with the story of Samson as well. Samson pushing out the pillars is a picture of the rapture. It took place in a “house”, that would be analogous to St. Peter’s square, and it happened on a great sacrifice to Dagon.
Judges 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
The hat that the Pope wears is the same hat that the priests to Dagon wear and a funeral of a Pope could therefore be called a sacrifice to Dagon. The church is called the house of God, so this will cause the Catholic church (house) to collapse.
Judges 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
And this lines up with Exodus. The last plague before Passover was the three days of darkness. In that plague it is made clear that Pharoah will see Moses no more, a reference to the rapture.
Exodus 10:28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Three days of darkness refers to the three days that Lazarus was in the grave, and then raised on the fourth day.
Immediately after this we see Moses and Aaron (depicting the two witnesses that will shepherd the tribulation saints through the tribulation but will die before the end of the seventieth week) they announce that it is the first day of the first month for Israel (those left behind).
Exodus 12:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
This lines up perfectly with the story in John. Lazarus is raised from the dead, Jesus goes elsewhere for a few days and then comes and eats with Mary, Martha and Lazarus in Bethany 6 days before the Passover which is Nisan 14. It is understood that Mary and Martha and Lazarus would be unclean for seven days due to the dead body they had touched, so Jesus eats with them the eighth day after the rapture. Lazarus rises from the dead on the last day of Adar prior to the first day of the first month.
Then the last chapter of Exodus reveals that the first day of the first month is when the tabernacle is raised and all the vessels are brought in and all the priests take their place. It is suggested that when we go to heaven it is seven days before we can enter the temple. If we are raptured on the last day of Adar seven years later would be the first day of the first month.
Exodus 40:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
Now consider Ruth, she is gleaning in the fields like the poorest of the poor when Boaz marries her. This is a picture of the tribulation saints. The book begins with her in Moab and the two Israelite husbands die. This indicates apostasy, a departure from the faith. However, she cleaves to Naomi, returns to Israel, and so is saved during the tribulation. The rapture is a reaping, it does not take place after the harvest is in, it is the harvest being gathered. So we see that Ruth is there in the field gleaning after the firstfruits have been gathered in. She comes along after the rapture.
Ruth 1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
The beginning of the Barley harvest signifies the first rapture. That is when Lazarus is raised and the saints worshipping the Lord in Luke are no more. The beginning of the Barley harvest in Israel is late March. So this aligns with Lazarus being raised from the grave on the last day of Adar.
In Mark we can also see this rapture event. Only this time it is from the perspective of the left behind saints. Jesus’ baptism is the event in chapter 1. Immediately after this event they are thrust out into the wilderness to fast and pray and be tempted by Satan for forty days.
Mark 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
This is what we learn about in Revelation 12, after the man child is caught up the woman is thrust out into the wilderness.
Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Paul told us that if we are buried with Christ in the likeness of His death we will also be raised in the likeness of His resurrection.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
The rapture is conditional. Not all Christians have been buried with Christ in the likeness of His death. If you still “have something” then you aren’t dead. Not all Christians are dead to the world, dead to the flesh, dead to sin, dead to the old man. So then for those that are, the rapture is being raised in the likeness of His resurrection, for those that aren’t it is like being buried in the likeness of His death.
In Matthew we see the same thing, but the book does not begin with the rapture event. Instead it begins with telling us that Jesus is the son of Abraham and the son of David. This is crucial to the Jews. It gives us the genealogy of Jesus from Abraham, again crucial to the Jews. Finally it tells us that God called His son out of Egypt, letting them know that it was prophesied in the OT that Jesus would be seen in the Gentile church first. They will learn all this from the two witnesses, then when the two witnesses die and are then raised for all to see, that will be their baptismal moment.
